Good question..I've struggle through a few articles on Ben Rhodes. One in particular by the New York Times Magazine..strangly enough titled.."Through the Looking Glass With Ben Rhodes" by David Samuels...this paragraph stuck out to me..I think Ben Rhodes is the bravest person I’ve ever met in Washington. If it sounds weird to say that Rhodes is both a manipulative spin-doctor and a deeply honest, creative person who believes strongly in the policies he spins for, well, that is still the truth...and this writer says he's an ardent opponent of the Iran Deal and was ready to to sow seeds of mistrust about the policy.

That statement alone tells the truth about what today's media is all about. Sowing their own seeds into all the articles they SPIN out in today's media.

He continues with this...So, do I support the Iran deal? On balance, I suppose I do. It’s a complicated agreement and I’m not an expert (I’m a journalist), but after talking to people who are experts — including Leon Panetta, who told me that he supports the deal with reservations — I imagine it’s probably a good-enough idea that I should have some reservations about, too.. I will wait and watch and see what happens, just like everyone else.

When he talks of experts as Hillary..Obama..Leon Panetta who ALL have failed with the Iran stop of nuclear weapons...I said this article is trash as pretty much ALL media today. So to answer why Ben Rhodes is mentioned..I'm still out on this.

I think a point missed in all this is that a “deal” that nobody signed and legislative bodies didn’t vet isn’t a deal, it’s just geopolitical mental masturbation that facilitated a bunch of payoff/bribery. It’s like all of the deal bull**** was the players, sitting around hashing out who’s getting how much and what and someone goes “hey, how are we selling this set up to the meat cogs?”

Everyone follows with “FUUuuuuu**... i got it, let’s say we met for a nuclear proliferation deal, gobbledegook that shit up so it’s so mind numbingly boring most of our constituents will enter a persistent vegetative state if they read it. Nobody’s going to check. Iran, try not to be so fookin’ obvious moving forward... How’s the lamb here?”
